I liked the Rock-ola Cafe, it was a pretty cool little place. The staff was really friendly and helpful. I had the Blue Cheese Burger and it was huge!!! The loaded french fries were really good too!!! They've got like 6-7 beers on tap and a full bar as well. I was really thinking this was going to be a 50's style diner, but that is def not the case. I heard Frampton, Seager, and Skynard among others while i sat at the bar and ate. Good selection of music in my opinion!
Overall i'd go back. I probably will make another stop by before I leave the Ashboro area. -

I don't write reviews too often, but when I do is because I feel is my responsibility to warn the entire humanity. I went to this "restaurant" (I should call it Joy Cemetery) tonight, and I've had the worst Chicken Fajita a human could possibly make. I learned that when the menu says something like "tasteful fajitas with our special ranch dressing" you know you are in big trouble. Mexican Fajitas with ranch dressing, please! that is like cooking lasagna with chocolate cookies stuffing! Seriously. As I was eating this fajita, I was having flashbacks of the worst moments of my entire life! and the worst part is that my window faces Chilis restaurant, so it was a torture those 23 minutes of my life. In conclusion, if I were extremely hungry, and there is no other restaurants in this whole planet, I would rather eat myself than eating in this place again! DO NOT EAT HERE!

I went to this Rock-Ola while driving through Asheboro, there used to be one where I lived when I was a child, and it was probably my favorite place to go.
They have really good cheese fries and burgers. The atmosphere is casual and friendly, not a dressy place at all. I definitely recommend it. -

Standard fare in a good environment.
Nothing extremely outstanding, but a nice, loud place to eat. -

Good food -- burgers and other sandwiches, fries, etc. -- in a friendly, casual atmosphere. Theme decorations can add to the interest if you like walking around looking at them.

Rock Ola: The name conjures the iconic juke box brand, makes you think Elvis Presley and Bill Haley and the Beatles. At least during the Thursday lunch when another dad and I ate there on a visit to the N.C. Zoo with three kids, Rock Ola did not rock. Create a Pandora channel around "Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You," (a song actually played during our meal) and you'll get a sense of the cheesy, weak-tea late '80s half-a'd-ness that this place awkwardly tries to dance to.
The menu is the generic Chili-bees-Tuesday stuff. Fine, but you ought to be able to execute those dishes. And I can excuse that it was the waitress' first day on the job, but it took almost 45 minutes for the food to arrive, which made the kids crazy. The place was empty, so it was hard to figure out what took so long. About 20 minutes after we ordered, the kitchen told the waitress the fried flounder sandwich one of us chose wasn't on the menu. We helpfully pointed to it in the list, and she took the menu back to the kitchen, and amazingly, they were able to produce one, after all. The marinara on the kids pasta looked like a can of Hunts' tomato sauce. The rolls were raw in the middle and very brown on the outside and slathered in something oily I doubted was butter. The silverware also had a greasy sheen, and something that looked like a lemon seed was stuck to my knife. My food had clearly been under a warmer for an entire Pebo Bryson album side.
I would recommend against visiting this restaurant unless you work for the demolition company that should be hired to make way for a proper one to be built in its place.
